Reed Canyon Blog

The young owls may have left their nest by the art building and moved a little downstream. A gardener at the Reed community gardens saw a young owl in a tree by the rugby field just after sunset last week. She didn't see any older owls around.

Joshua Kemper and Nadia Fay dropped us a note on July 1 to say they spotted 5 western screech owls on the east end of the art building at the edge of the canyon at about 10:30pm. A breeding pair was hunting and feeding three young, small owls, only 6-8 inches tall.

Joshua says the owls were "VERY easy to find this time of year... Adults are quiet but those owlets just won't shut up-- hungry!"

This is the new Reed Canyon Weblog! This site is still very much in the testing phase. Your comments and suggestions are very welcome.

If anyone would care to donate some money to this effort, we can get rid of that banner ad at the top of the screen. Just $15/year would give us an ad-free site.
